[Closed] What do people with internal cabling and 1x10/11 do with the redundant holes?

Really tempted by a lovely frame. It's got very neat internal cable routing, but as I wouldn't be using a front mech, it would have a couple of holes in the top tube to let in crap and generally mess with my head. I've seen racers who cover them with tape, but I'm more of a tart than that. What do you do? Ignore them, tape them, stick a flower in them, or something else?

I take the lack of response as encouragement to get a life. You're probably right.

Someone said to me, "silicon bathroom sealant that". But I didn't.

I ignored them. Two sets as it had internal routing for rear lockout I didn't use either.

Somewhere to keep gravy? Handy as a Northerner living in the South, if I stop for a pie & chips after a ride I don't have to suffer the chippy' staff's blank stares when I ask for it....

I'm concerned that they might be somewhere for my riding buddies to post prawns.

It's a ti frame, so I doubt there are blanking plates.

I was wondering whether I could fit the rear brake hose through, although it is designed for a gear cable?

Cable outer end cap turned 'upside down' and in hole.. assuming your internal routing is inner cable only
